As a nod to HN I confess its front page acts as a wonderful filter. So while I do not follow blogs, I get a really good stuff from here.

It would be nice if HN provided a list of the user's most upvoted websites. That way, you can easily figure out what your favorite blog is :)

Let's see. Often when I find something interesting on HN or Reddit I might see if the author writes other interesting posts and subscribe to their blog on Feedly. I currently have a few hundred sources that I subscribe to so it might be a bit hard for me to choose which "blogs" I'd promote. But there are some:

- https://blog.codinghorror.com/

- http://www.pentadact.com/

- http://procworld.blogspot.no/

- https://moviecode.tumblr.com/

- http://hackaday.com/

- https://research.googleblog.com/

- https://gpuofthebrain.com/

- https://xkcd.com/

- http://oglaf.com/

This is an almost random selection of some of the blogs that I subscribe to.

Same here. I haven't been able to find an RSS reader I love since Google Reader went under.

I'm loving all the blog recommendations I get here, but I don't see how I can follow the content reliably like I can with my favorite podcasts.

Here's a dump of the "Programming" folder from my RSS reader: Aphyr's (aka the guy behind the Jepsen distributed system test series): https://aphyr.com/ Fred Herbert, the author of Learn You Some Erlang: http://ferd.ca/ Eevee, who posts a mishmash of stuff about programming in general but these days is mostly focussed on games: https://eev.ee/ Tef/Programming is Terrible, which features strong opinions about programm…

I follow Eevee on twitter, love their content, for some reason I always find it inspiring for my own projects

Not strictly programming, but Troy Hunt on Security (https://www.troyhunt.com/) is really good.

He's the guy behind Have I Been Pwned (https://haveibeenpwned.com/).

Eric Lippert's blog https://ericlippert.com/ He used to write about C#, mostly. Now he is into functional programming. Awesome content.

Have you tried Feedly?
